I must confess. I recently bought a 550B as a second press to my 650. I wanted the second press so I wouldn't have to change primer sizes. In running the first batch of ammunition the spent primer gadget was not closing and the primers were falling down and jamming the primer arm. I got involved in trying to determine why it was happening and threw a double charge. This happened twice. The powder overflowed so there wasn't any danger, but it was inconvenient. Double charging is a distinct possibility if you get involved in something that diverts your attention from the regular process. I've been reloading since 1957 so I am not really a novice. I never load powder charges that are so small that a double charge isn't obvious. Maybe I'm a slow learner! Jerry
